March Z.
Here are some new details about the
Bulgarian risings. The leading insurgents
in S~ilistria had but recently arrived II! thaC
town. Among them was Dlmltrleh' 'n0
correspondent of the Moscow V26d0m0Stt.
They tried to rouse the population puC
failed. At Rustchuk, Slanevef, editor or
The newspaper StaUiniaa, played a great
part. He was iii daily intercourse with
Ouzounoff, an enthusiastic supporter OF
Prince Alexander, who commanded at
Widdin during the ServO-Bulgarian war.
From tho papers found upon the prisoners,
il seems that Ouz0unOf had undertaken to
revolt at Widdin.
The firing party which executed the
insurgents at RuStchuk consisted OF 80
men. More than 20 Russian officers who
took part in the instruction have escaped
into Roumania.
Sofia, March 4.
MN. Karaveloff, Nikoforoff, Zanoff, and
% other persons have been arrested. Inc
state of siege has been proclaimed here
The town is perfectly quiet. A large
crowd mustered before M. Stambouloffs
residence and cheered until he came out.
He spoke q few words, asking the assem-
blage to dispense quietly, and promising
that the Government would DO IT'S duty.
It is a kindness to those accused OF com
Dlicity in the insurrectiOn to arrest them,
for the people would probably lynch them
If they remained at large. Madame Kara
vclof was hoOted in the streets this morn
ing and had to hurry home. At her
request a police guard has been placed at
her door.
The fact that the movement at SlllstrIa
was so promptly suppressed was owing TO
the presence of mind Of q telegraph clerk,
who, on hearing of Colonel Kristefs pro
m~unciGmiento, ar once reported it to Sofia.
Ten minutes later the insurgents took pos
session of the telegraph office.
It ID said that Colonel Kristetf was shot
from behind by one of his own men.
The revolt at SiliStria was suppressed
chiefly through the action 0fthe population,
which rose against Colonel KriSteff. BY the
timer reinforcement reached the city the re-
volt was virtually suppressed. Colonel Kris
teff ordered cannon to be fred into the town
from the fortress to overawe the population,
but this only exasperated the people. All
the cunners who were denounced as having
hred have been shot, Colonel KRISTEN
made two attempts to escape, but was
brought back by his men.
M. Radoslavoff, the Prime Minister, and
Colonel Gicolaieff, the War Minister, have
sent kilograms to the garrisons of Sllistria
and Rustchuk thanking them for their con-
duct. Most of the Diplomatic Agents
to-day paid formal visits Of congratulation
to Nj. StambouloE
